Roll of Honour:

From Pete Curtis – You would have laughed at the funeral – knowing “H”, can you believe his father wanted him to become a priest??? Anyone further from the priesthood I have yet to meet, so he joined the Army – via a short trip to a school run at Her Majesty’s Pleasure. There are many tales of Harry, most not printable in a family site. Great bloke. He was MTWO at Warminster during his time as NRPS with the Yorkshire Volunteer’s, he was MTWO from leaving the regulars, for at least 10 years
Harry leaves behind his widow Tina and children Paul & Tracy
